Abstract:

Paul Green, native of Harnett County and Pulitzer Prize winner, turned eighty-five on March 17, 1979. To honor him, his assistant, Rhoda Wynn, gave him a quilt made of nine squares. Each square was made by a person connected with the dramas Green has written. The quilt hangs in Green's home library.\r\n

Faulkner, Janice Hardison

Abstract:

Was quilting’s comeback because, as Faulker speculated, of the current energy crisis or colder winters? Whatever the cause, the author was appreciative for the revival of interest that had also resurged warm memories.

Abstract:

Works of art produced by the Quilt Trail Project are partly utilitarian; within these decorative squares are stories of people from a region. Six Western North Carolina counties host over two hundred quilt blocks whose stories reflect the history of towns as well as individuals. Examples include a block of an open door, which hangs in a Burnsville bank. The bank’s significance lie in being the only one to stay open in that area during the Great Depression.

Hopkins, Janice

Abstract:

Quilting through the centuries has experienced vast changes in purposes and patterns. Originally a padding for Crusaders’ armor, it gained popularity in the United States through communities such as Amish, community quilting bees, and fads such as the Log Cabin and crazy quilt. Quilting still has a presence in many communities through church quilting groups and community center classes, who can teach styles such as appliqued or pierced.
